Everton vs Manchester United: Line-ups confirmed for clash on Merseyside

Manchester United make the short trip to Merseyside for a clash against former manager David Moyes and Everton.

It has been a mixed start for the Red Devils, who lost to Hull City on the opening weekend of the Premier League season before bouncing back against Ipswich last week.

Everton are unbeaten so far, but had issues in the final days of the transfer window that left them short-handed heading into the depths of the new campaign.
